Studying nage waza (throwing techniques) for Gokyu (blue belt)

The kids and I are really enjoying the dojo we get to be a part of while here in Lawton, OK.  Soke (Mike Love, MD) is a wonderful soul, Sensei Jeff is an excellent teacher, and Sensei Andy is absolutely wonderful with the kids.  The rest of the dojo is made up of fabulous people that I miss already just thinking about leaving in June.  This is video of Deanna Smiley (who happens to be the BEST babysitter a Mom could hope for!) and me practicing hip throws (O Goshi, Ippon Seoi Nage, and Koshi Guruma).  Oh and Tori has to add her little flare of course!!  No video would be complete without it!  Nicholas is there too but he is practicing Judo with Sensei Andy off screen to the left.
